2-4 years of experience building and shipping production software, full-stack or backend-leaning.
Comfort across a modern web stack (TypeScript, React, Node.js).

Strong problem-solving skills and a builder's instinct, with a keen attention to detail.
Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain technical tradeoffs to engineers, founders, and non-technical stakeholders alike.
Comfort working directly with clients, and an eagerness to learn and adapt in a fast-moving environment.
Some exposure to fintech or financial products, or a genuine interest in the domain, with an awareness of why security and compliance matter when handling financial data.

AI-powered features that map well to fintech: document extraction (for KYC or statements), transaction categorization, support chatbots, search, or data normalization.
Creating MCP servers, or building deeper agentic tooling and testing infrastructure for agentic applications.
Background in fintech, regulated financial services, or experience with RegTech and compliance automation tools.
Experience with payment, banking, or financial data integrations.
